Statement on Late Odds Shift Friday

In Keeneland’s 6^thrace on Friday, there was a significant late odds shift on the winner, Early Mischief (3).  Upon request from Keeneland, the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau analyzed the wagering records.  During the last cycle, 26% of the win pool was received ($61,000).  Of this amount, $16,000 was wagered on the 3 horse, dropping his odds from 10-1 to 5-1.

Upon examination, several large win wagers were placed on the 3 horse just prior to post and those were reflected as the horses left the gate.  Keeneland refreshes win odds every 10 seconds to give the customer as accurate a picture as possible.

All wagers were time stamped properly and were placed prior to the start of the race.
